![]() When the body’s wisdom is dominated by thoughts and emotions, prana serves the whimsy of the ego-mind. In polarity, there is unity and oneness.Įnergy follows attention. In polarity, positive and negative are in complimentary interplay, such as with breath in and breath out, night and day, hot and cold. Health and well being of the body operate according to complimentary polarity. In the body, we have primal sensations connected to the sustenance and survival. The biological prana body operates in the subconscious dimension that is self-regulating, homeostatic, self-balancing, and self-healing. That guidance from prana is not pre-learned. Where all questions are resolved through the promptings of pranic presence rather than the pre-conditioned ego-mind. When your movements are guided by the direct promptings of prana, you are moving on the pathless path, in action-less action, ego-less action. And the light of conscious awareness reveals the true meaning of what is right or wrong. ![]() Feeling activates the undistorted wisdom of the body in the form of vital life energy – prana. Presence is felt through a shift from thinking to feeling. What is revealed in choiceless awareness is who you are. When you remain the choiceless witness, there remains nothing for you to do and ego disappears. Once your ego chooses for or against what is, it is required to do something about it. Choice separates us from the source of Oneness. Choosing for or against what is present gives birth to the ego-mind. The mind, being conditioned by social norms and personal likes and dislikes, lives in the service of the self -image in dualistic conflicts. But your ego-mind will fight with, run from, or attempt to modify what is present. You can’t enhance or diminish what is present you can only acknowledge its presence and embrace it. But it is not you.Īll mental content conditioned by the past is waiting for a reaction to “re-act” in the present. Everything you know through the reactive perception about yourself is “about” you. The content of your facetious self-image (that we also call ego) is colored by your distorted reactive perceptions of all that happened in the entire journey of “I AM”. This is what fundamentally makes the ego-mind a leaky container. The ego that believes, “I am not enough” and “I am deficient” is needy, demanding and greedy. Efforts to solve problems by changing external situations without letting go of your reactive perception changes nothing but the content. But you have not let go of the internal reaction that was present before the problem you see outside. Therefore, everything you do to solve the problems happens externally. All problems you perceive are seen through your reaction as though they are coming from others, or from outside of yourself. What you believe about yourself is not who you are. What disturbs you the most is when you believe whatever your mind tells you about yourself. The hunger of the ego is not real hunger, but rather like the horizon a false union of earth and sky. But being a leaky container, it lives with an insatiable hunger that can not be fulfilled. The ego mind struggles to fill up the container with possessions so it may feel full. No matter how much content in the form of achievements of power, property, and skill you put into this leaky container it the (ego-mind) remains empty, hungry and greedy for more. But when “I AM” identifies with reactions, such as guilt, blame, shame, hatred, anger, jealousy, fear, and addiction the “I AM” container turns into a colander pierced with holes. The objects of knowing are the contents that you know about. The unconditioned “I AM” is the container for consciousness. ![]() The “I AM” that is the immortal, timeless, formless being, the container, consciousness. Regardless of what is happening within you or outside of you, you are the “knower”. You are the container, the “I AM.” You are the changeless, timeless soul that was present before you were born in the body you currently inhabit and will continue to be present after your body dies. Your entire past, your age, profession, acquired conditioned thoughts, feelings, self-image and karma body with all its content is not you. Whatever you know about yourself is a mental construct. Knowing yourself is not the same as knowing about yourself. ![]()
